Fetch That Number (Australia)

Fetch That Number (Australia)

Ever wanted to know who is calling you? Wanted to save that new contact without having to type in their name and address? Sick of spam calls wasting your time?

Fetch That Number can help. It can fetch the caller ID of Australian phone numbers. It uses the web to fetch the incoming or outgoing number's details while the phone is ringing - If the number is a known spam caller source, it will also let you know so you can ignore it rather than disturb your work.

Once you have finished your call, you can then add the caller to your contacts list with a click of a button so it will sync with any of your registered Google accounts.

Fetch That Number can also save history meaning you can look back and see previous searches and a search page so you can manually search for phone numbers.

The data comes from a 'grey pages' reverse lookup service for Australia. This is a third party service (Reverse Australia). Asgard Designs are not responsible for data provided, we just provide a convenient way to use this reverse lookup service!

NOTE: This will only be of use in Australia! We are looking at adding new countries in the future.

If you have any issues, feedback or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact us!

BUGS Won't log onto the internet when I know it is available

Does exactly what the app is made for The app would be better if for example i had a spam caller that wasn't listed, i could then flag that number which would then add it to a data base. in theory any number that aren't listed the people using the app could help in creating a data base.

Suggestion The app would be improved by a numeric guess ability and or post code / map reference.
